These issues have emerged while testing Quirky 018, but I have put the solutions into Woof so they apply to all Woof-builds.

There was a problem with using SeaMonkey 2.0.4 as the CUPS web interface on slow PCs. Running /usr/sbin/cups_shell, the initial information html page came up ok, but not the CUPS interface page. There is a while loop that waits for SM to be fully loaded, that needed to be modified.

Thanks to rcrsn51 for reporting all of this on the Quirky 018 forum feedback thread:

The file /etc/cups/snmp.conf has the odd ownership root:[7]. This prevents CUPS from detecting network printers. I changed it to root:nobody and did a CUPS restart.

The symlink /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb to /opt/samba/bin/smbspool is missing. This prevents access to Windows shared printers.

The file /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf needs to be world-readable.

I have put fixes for these into /usr/sbin/cups_shell, for Samba installed into either /usr or /opt.
